Unicorn Scouts Group was approached to host a homestay programme for the Scouts from Xinyi Scout Troop, Taiwan, and it was a privilege for us to participate in such an activity despite the short notice given. Together with members of the Unicorn V&R crew, our Scouts hosted a total of 22 Scouts (14 girls and 9 boys) in our respective homes over the weekend.

This short but memorable homestay programme gave us an opportunity to find out one another’s cultures and practices and to give a glimpse to the Taiwanese Scouts on what it was like to interact with us on a personal level via the homestay. We also had lots of fun during the outing on Sunday. It wasn’t very easy bringing 22 people around Singapore (think of the transport; all of them are without the convenience of ez-link cards) but all in all, we hope that we gave the Taiwanese Scouts a great time and they’ll have many wonderful memories to bring back home.
